Hello everyone, happy #WellnessWednesday! I know it’s a crazy time right now and in lieu of the regularly scheduled Wellness Wednesday Guest Post, I’d like to feature a post written by Miranda that she shared in one of our mutual Facebook groups. She has her own Facebook group called, Wake up Wellness!
Here’s Miranda’s post:
Good afternoon my beautiful people!! 🌤
.
I’ve been doing a lot on mindset and mental health. 📚 I wanted to share what’s helping me!
.
The world is f***ed up right now. 🌎
I’m feeling it in my own ways too, and it’s OK.
.
We need to go easy on ourselves. Cut us some slack! Esp. as entrepreneurs/ workaholics 😅
.
We are all trying to navigate and adapt ⛵️
while flooded with new stressors and obstacles.
.
Some we may not even realize are taking a toll…
💻 Like, overconsumption of tech
🏃♀️ Lack of movement
.
I’ve found myself in fight or flight mode, spread thin, stressed.
At a race with myself to accomplish the billion things a new business needs. Working 24/7 🌘✨
Always feeling like I should be getting more done, faster, then get bent out of shape when I don’t.
Well, I think I understand now. 💡
Pushing ourselves so extreme won’t help us achieve our goals and dreams faster, it’ll actually create a chain reaction & do the opposite.
People are like plants. 🌱 ( – the still part)
We NEED sunshine, nutrients, fresh air, connection, nurturing, and love. 💗
.
We’re not meant to be confined or shut out, or glued to a screen 👩💻 ALL day + night working.
.
We should let ourselves cope w/ the trauma this pandemic brings, rest, eat nutritious foods, and focus on 1 thing at a time. No rat race.
I’ll be posting (+ using) mindset, mental health tips & tricks, the best coping as we try to navigate this pandemic, TOGETHER.
.
I want us to come out of this BETTER than we went it, and overflowing with health & wealth 🙌
.
⚡️Might be a little scathed, but hey, it’ll make for a COOL scar 😉 😘

Mindset Tip:
🛑 NEVER allow negative self-talk to go unchecked
👇 INSTEAD, DO THIS:
When a negative 💭 pops up, simply acknowledge it, observe it (where’s it stemming from?), then REPLACE it with a positive affirmation!
.
Over time, you’ll TRAIN your brain to break that pattern of negative thinking 🧠
.
This WILL change your life. I’ve done it. And now I practice it again – to lift me up through this. 🌤
.
• Change:
“I’ll never be good enough/ like them”
.
or “I failed today, I can’t do this ”
.
or “I’m so lonely, nobody cares about me”
.
• Into:
“I’m getting better every day, closer to my goals. I’m grateful for my uniqueness, I am one of a kind!”
.
.
“I did my best today. Tomorrow, I will try ____ . I’m making Progress, not perfection.”
.
“I love myself 💖 I cherish my time to focus on my needs and enjoying my passions. I’ll meet my person when the time is right”
.
Just trust me on this, I paid a lot of time, $, and heartache to learn this the hard way. 😉
♥️ Luh you guys, Take care
.
Thanks for your Lovely Words Miranda! Stay Healthy and Safe, Everyone!
